As they began to voice their own confusion, it was almost as if the joy of that step--that one true step--was too enormous to keep to themselves. Their demands often sounded to the keen ear like urgent pleas to share their newly discovered needs--those needs which, if fulfilled, could open the path to real self-discovery. It is this edge of minority student demands that caused them, in almost every instance, to separate their protests from those of the white students, even though their...
